AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Two Views of Butcher Birds


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is one butcher bird colouring.
The butcher birds love sitting on the old flag pole near my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
They love some mince being thrown in the air and they catch it mid flight!

Small feathered critter
Darting and diving for food
Like a happy dance

These butcher birds are gorgeous. I wish I had all the wildlife at my house as you do. Interesting faces are always there to greet you. Have a great night.
